My new opinion of Les MilesPosted by Laman1978 on 11/10/13 at 12:40 pm

I have finally done it. I have switched sides. I have no faith in Les Miles. There is no excusing it anymore. A university with the support, funding, and recruiting pool of LSU should never play an obvious second fiddle to anyone. No, not even the "legendary Alabama Crimson Tide". Those of you still defending Miles are obviously happy with just 9 and 10 win seasons. You fail to realize that with a more competent coach we could have so much more!!!

It is always something with Les. His choice of QB, his 2 minute blunders, his teams quite apparent lack of discipline (late hits, frustration)...etc. I just don't buy his BS anymore. I won't do it. I was a Tiger long before Les Miles, and I will be a Tiger long after Les Miles. I don't buy the "He is a wonderful recruiter" argument either. LSU recruits itself, and any village idiot could recruit at least a top 25 class to LSU with as much loyalty we get from the recruiting pool in Louisiana.

Alabama has a coach that is known for his discipline, his tenacity, his expectation of perfection, and winning championships. LSU has a coach that is known for his peculiar habits, his weird clapping, his idiotic sounding Mike Tyson like quotes, his two minute blunders, and eating grass!

It is embarrassing, folks, and the LSU TIGERS DESERVE MORE!!! Unfortunately, it appears Les has the AD wrapped around his little finger. I am afraid we are stuck with him. I wish to God he would just move on and retire...

i dont agree with the recruiting. Les leaves and you can kiss this class goodbye. LSU has kept more in state talent than any program under les' tenure. The in state guys werent coming to LSU. Add to the fact we can pull guys from all over the country and you have what Les is, a great recruiter.

2005 we had 8 commits before Les was hired. 8. Saban and LSU could only pull 8 guys. out of the 13 signed only 8 were from louisiana. Please explain how you expect to compete in the sec west with only 8 players from Louisiana. You cant even field one side of the ball with 8 players.

I look around the country and see where les is paid, 7th and see where our program ranks in revenue, 3rd and i say we ar ein better shape than most programs.

Also there are numerous programs with the same if not more funding and support as LSU, yet only one team can win the title every year. So what are those teams doing? If the rant had its way, we would have a new coach every season. Yall would want any coach fired after one loss, even saban.

And there it is. Bringing up the long lost love that you are still butthurt over losing. Deny it all you want but you are still not over it. Get the frick over it. Saban is the GOAT and Miles will not be Saban. No coach will be.

I'm not disagreeing with your conclusion, but this is a ridiculous reason to want Miles gone. Fact: there are multiple teams in the country with comparable advantages as LSU. Not many, but multiple. And fact: they are all second fiddle to 'Bama. That is the culture of college football right now, Bama is just the best. If you want a new coach because this one is not meeting your expectation, fine, that's fair. If you want a new coach because we are not on the same level as Bama, then you're shite out of luck. There just isn't anyone out there that can keep up with the machine they have built. That is the reality for every team in the country, and it sucks. But firing Miles won't change it.

I don't want to get into a pissing match with you. It is fans like you that will keep us in the shadows.

Notre Dame doesn't have the regular stream of quality recruits that LSU has, no. That is why they have to recruit nationally, and the ND name is not what it once was.

USC WAS dominating, but they got into trouble and hired an idiot. I would also argue that they do not have the same recruiting advantages that LSU does. LSU is the only BCS team in a state loaded with top notch talent. A state that puts more players in the NFL per captia than any other, so no, USC doesn't have that advantage.

Florida has to battle FSU and Miami for in state recruits. We hold that advantage over them as well.

Could I ask you to shut your mouth now? I don't want the fans on the fence about Miles to read your garbage.
